BUT: what good are these positive characteristics when advertised by Humax important features temporarily not work at all?
It unfortunately happens every few months, since last 10 days that the TVTV EPG system is no longer available !! Programmed recordings are simply no longer possible, unless one takes the unreasonable trouble display (15- 30 min expense), the program display the 'normal' and incomplete EPG each station and then to try to program the desired program. That's technical middle ages! Some stations such. As RTL does not appear in this Sisiphus work. What is worth a PVR, which you can not program? Correct: nothing!
Huamx makes it stand out in repeated written complaints to light and puts the blame on TVTV. There are apparently no contractual performance guarantees between these two "partners". When TVTV on data transfers and their standards change something, it's probably not matched with Humax or vice versa. Humax is a totally inadequate customer orientation. Product and behavior satisfies my opinion long ago the offense of non-compliance of promised features !! I'll return the device / convert.
Since this is my second iCord and the first after 26 months "thanks" dying because of poor capacitors was a total failure, remains only a clear verdict:
Twice Humax last!
